There are howls from the far left that Israel is conducting an 'illegal war' in Lebanon. It is interesting that the word 'legal' in international terms has only to do with treaties, most of which have been ignored or trashed since 1900. We have the UN Resolutions to consider when judging the legality of wars and such. Strangely, the UN Resolution 1559 called for the elimination of Hiz Bollah, who are currently hurling rockets into Israel. I wonder if that is 'illegal or not' in the current context.
Apparently, it is fine with many UN types and the far left in the US and elsewhere to ignore (or sometimes celebrate) acts of terror when children strap on bombs and blow up other children, but a military action to stop direct attacks on civilians seems to be 'illegal.'
Only the sleazy political notions of left-liberal political thinking could subvert common logic in such a manner.
I call for the IDF to tear down as much of Lebanon as necessary, ignore the UN and their Arab allies and clean out the Islamo-Fascists house-by-house until a 30 mile free zone is established. I have no hope that there will be any 'international force' to come and help supress the Hiz Bollah, Iran's terrorists on the scene or others.
Good luck to Israel and hammer the terrorists.
